Booz Allen Hamilton Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE:BAH), the parent company of management and technology consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., today announced preliminary results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 with solid earnings growth after adjustments for non-recurring items over the prior year period. Booz Allen also reported total backlog of $12.45 billion as of September 30, 2012. Booz Allen’s fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31, with the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ending September 30, 2012.

Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.39 billion, compared with $1.43 billion in the prior year period, a decrease of 2.9 percent. The decline in revenue, which was consistent with the Company’s forecast, was primarily due to a reduction in billable expenses and a lower ratio of indirect costs to direct labor compared with the prior year period. Reductions in billable expenses and indirect costs have a direct correlation to the amount of revenue recognized on cost reimbursable contracts.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, net income decreased to $46.1 million from $75.3 million in the prior year period, and Adjusted Net Income increased to $55.7 million from $50.6 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.27 for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared with $0.53 in the prior year quarter; Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $0.39 for the current quarter, compared with $0.36 in the prior year period. Earnings in the prior year period at both the aggregate and per-share level reflected a substantial increase attributable to the release of a significant income tax reserve and the realization of a gain from the sale of Booz Allen’s state and local transportation business in the quarter ending September 30, 2011. Additionally, the current year’s quarter includes one-time charges associated with the July 2012 refinancing transaction. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share remove these one-time and unusual items and therefore Booz Allen believes these metrics are useful tools for investors in evaluating its financial results.
